14.3. Moving (Renaming) Files or Directories: The Move Factory

The Move factory allows you to rename a file or directory. For example, if we don't want to copy the temporary file, we could use:

      Command("file.out", "file.in",
              [
                Copy("tempfile", "$SOURCE"),
                "modify tempfile",
                Move("$TARGET", "tempfile"),
              ])
    

Which would execute as:

      % scons -Q
      Copy("tempfile", "file.in")
      modify tempfile
      Move("file.out", "tempfile")
